I am here to support and guide you in living a life in which you feel in control and able to reach your full potential. Living with anxiety, depression and life stressors weighing you down should not be normal and I want to provide you with a safe and comfortable space to open up. My approach to therapy is client-centered meaning every session we will check in on progress and establish your goals for the session. This approach ensures you get what you need from every session without letting therapeutic processes take over our work together. It is my goal to end each session by providing small exercises you can utilize throughout the week while we continue working on the larger goal. I hope you find what you are looking for in your search and congrats on taking the first steps to a more empowered you!

Hi. I'm Pam and I am a mental health counselor. I enjoy working with people from a holistic approach specifically focused on the mind, body, and spirit connection to effect and attain harmony in one's life. I utilize a combination of techniques such as guided meditations including imagery and visualization, breathwork, and other relaxation techniques coupled with other Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques (CBT) that are effective in managing a multitude of issues. I have found it is especially effective for people coping with depression, stress, and anxiety, difficulties manifesting a positive self-image, and attaining a balanced life. I have been told I "provide action-oriented and goal-directed services that effect change." and that I have "a way of presenting information that is gentle and compassionate." I believe we all need gentle compassion at some time in our lives. I enjoy working with people who are vested in self-exploration to see how they can respond differently to challenges in their lives to effect positive outcomes. "The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude."-Oprah Winfrey "The measure of intelligence is the ability to change'"-Albert Einstein. I look forward to working WITH you to effect positive change.

As a therapist I believe that anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, and addiction hold profound lessons and opportunities for growth. Too often, we push away our deepest hurts, hoping symptoms will simply vanish. This can lead us to seek refuge in unhealthy coping mechanisms like substance use or isolation. However, awareness of our struggles marks the beginning of a transformative healing journey. By embracing the wisdom within us and connecting to something greater, we can learn to flow with life’s challenges. I want to invite you on a healing journey that allows you to grow, connect with self and others. I use CBT, NLP, Genograms, Family constellations and Brain Spotting to release, anxiety, grief, trauma and depression. These techniques help me look at the specific patterns in the family system and helps the client gain awareness of unconscious generational patterns that may be limiting clients in their relationships, health, or career. I’m here to help you navigate this path. Together, we can create a safe space for you to tune into your head, heart, and body. You’ll learn to: Increase and improve your overall health Develop empowering beliefs that foster freedom and choice. You will learn to set compelling and achievable goals and look forward to the future with enthusiasm.

Hello! I'm Jim, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Florida and Connecticut. I'd like to support you in building the life you imagine! Life can be happy, joyous, and fulfilling. However, life can also be challenging at times. Challenges may involve external situations which we're currently facing, they may be internal struggles involving our feelings and thoughts, or both. During these challenging times, it is often beneficial to work with an empathetic, supportive, and knowledgeable therapist who will assist you in taking the steps necessary to deal with such challenges effectively and move forward with your life. I have 14 years of experience as a therapist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with a variety of issues. I have worked as a therapist in a nonprofit outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment agency, treating clients with depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. As a primary therapist in an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility, I have supported clients as they begin their journeys of sobriety and recovery. I have also assisted patients and family members facing end-of-life issues as a home hospice social worker.

Hi, I'm Aaron. Are you someone who just feels like life is kicking you while you are down? Are you constantly looking in the mirror and disliking what you see? Do you find that no matter where you are and who you are with, you still feel alone? Let's see if we can change that. Let's aim to challenge our thoughts and be there for ourselves. Let's create a plan that will empower us to take back control over our life and love what we see when looking in the mirror. Let's work together to live a happy and more fulfilling life. I strive to help high-functioning individuals to rediscover their inner strength to overcome their trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. I work with clients to help them challenge the thoughts holding them back. I implement a variety of therapeutic techniques to fit the needs of the client. I also use music and guided meditations to facilitate self-understand, along with providing tools they can use at home to help deal with stress, anxiety and depression. My main focus is to empower clients to better enable them to understand what is in their control and how they can make positive changes in their life. Reaching out for help is always scary because you do not know where to start or what to expect. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.

I have been working in the field for 10 years and have been a LICSW since 2021.

I often use humor and seem to have the ability to make people feel like they are talking to a friend...albeit a friend that is very honest, sometimes sarcastic, can challenge you, accept you, fight for you, and sometimes make you mad. Thankfully, it's all part of the process of making sustainable changes! I attended training to work specifically with law enforcement, veterans, and other first responders. I was an embedded social worker in a MN police department for 3 years. I utilize different therapeutic modalities depending on your individual needs. Some examples include: Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I pride myself in delivering non-judgmental, empathetic, individualized services to ensure the therapy experience is created for you.

Narcissists weaponize by their reactivity. If you do something they don't like they make you feel guilty. Guilt is associated with having done something wrong and the guilt is the glue that holds these relationships together. I work with clients who suffer from narcissistic abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Ive had the pleasure of helping my clients gain awareness and heal from trauma. In addition I also provide supervision for licensure.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take UnitedHealthcare Life Insurance?

Yes! If you use UnitedHealthcare Life Insurance you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have UnitedHealthcare Life Insurance you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
